Problems with Purple Team

There are 2 things that I found are a disadvantage to the players on purple team, one that is obvious and one that may surprise you.

  1. The most noticeable topic for a disadvantage is the vision reduction for players on the purple side. The map and ability bar get in the way. There is also the fact that the view on the Rift is angled in such a way that it seems that it is on a slope, making it seem that as you advance toward purple base you are going downhill. Sure there is unlocked camera and the fact that you can minimize the ability bar and map, but that doesn't compensate for the fact that it is still there. A suggestion I posted a while back is to implement an option where the player can decide where the map and ability bar is, on the bottom or on the top of the screen.

  2. This one I found out by accident. My friend wanted to do a duel. For some reason instead of doing it on Howling Abyss, he decided he wanted to do it on Summoner's Rift. We went to mid lane, and about 10 minutes later the blue minions destroyed the purple turret in the top lane, the bottom turret following right after. At some point later in the match I took note that the blue minions also destroyed the tier 2 turret in top lane while the blue tier 1 turret had not fallen. I learned that blue minions, for some reason, push faster than purple minions. I want someone to try this out and see if they get the same results, to see which side will destroy the first turret.

I'm hoping Riot will actually see my post. A response would be really nice as well.

I think the minions are random chance. They target somewhat randomly and if a minion gets piled on rather than spreading out across the front line evenly, you'll gain a minion advantage. If no players touch it, the minion advantage should never even out and will only grow as the next waves are imbalanced and will continue to favor the same side. 10 min seems fast though, and you'd think that once they reach turret the wave would reset...

The vision is a huge issue, but I suppose if you're good at watching your mini map, you can free roam your camera, though I recommend lowering it's move speed or it will jump everywhere.

the minions are completely RNG.
